To Grandpa and Grandma's We Went!

This past weekend we went to Grandpa Dan's and Grandma Linda's.  Here's Therese smelling a flower near the restaurant we had brunch at by the water in Gig Harbor.
Greta playing in the fountain by the restaurant.
We enjoyed some nice weather and had fun on the back deck and in my dad's beautiful back yard!  Therese found these balls hooked to ropes, which were part of a game.  She spent much of the weekend carrying them around!
TT and the balls.
The swing is always fun...we didn't get pictures of the girls on it, but they did have a nice ride with Grandpa on it :-)
Grandpa also set up his big tent in the backyard, which the girls really enjoyed playing in.
Getting flowers for their hair...


Oh, I love this photo!  Greta had such fun with Grandpa..she knows he loves to PLAY!!
Little flower sisters :-)

Behind their fence is a "forest" and there are blackberry bushes.  The girls LOVED picking blackberries back here, and ate so many!!  It was by far the highlight of the trip for the girls! Therese kept saying "Mo!" and also got pretty good at finding and picking ripe ones all by herself.

We also got to see Great Grandma Hope and Great Grandpa Harry.  It had been a year since we'd seen them...that's the longest I've gone without seeing them in my whole life! Wow.  Anyway, as usual, Grandma Hope had gifts for the girls :-)  Little lambs and outfits.
We tried to get a good picture of the girls in their new outfits with Great Grandma...this is the best we could get!!!
Playing in the kitchen with Grandma Linda.
Grandma Linda kept the girls very entertained while we got ready to head back for home on Sunday night :-)
We had such a great visit!  Really, it was quite memorable, and we look forward to next time we get to stay with my Dad and Linda.
